Comments Thread For: Malignaggi: Davis Has Become Bored With Opposition; At Least Santa Cruz Motivates Him

[Ray*]

tank must surely want lomachenko at some point i presume, i remember he had chances to fight him but went missing, biding his time i guess, dont like thta stuff personally

That point would come when they are confident that Lomachenko is shot a lot more, older, and reflexes done. At that point I wouldn’t mind Lomachenko ducking the fight.

Truth is since the Pedraza fight, Mayweather promotions has been very selective with their cherry-picking for Tanky,, almost every opponent has been forced to move up in the weight including the next opponent Santa Cruz..
No wonder why this over payed hype job is fkin bored, that dogchoker is on too tight.

It’s sad that the pedraza fight hasn’t been capitalised on. That was a great win/performance. They are hell bent into talking into a “Superstar” 😂

Lol!! Since wen does a Floyd Ppv need support from Stank?? He a Money team fighter...only reason he gets on Ppv card. And he only doing his 1st Ppv bc of Lsc - who is the much bigger name on the West coast!! Mismatch anyway and not Ppv worthy......even own commentator says as much!!

Delusional morons, how can fighting LSC ever be a mismatch in the same weight class, styles make fights, Tank will have his hands full in this match up; still wandering what Malignaggi was smoking when he made such comments; both fighters will rise to the occasion especially if fight is made at 130 great fight

I dig this fight but will Tank really make 130???

This is what I wonder. Dude missed weight against Gamboa and looked like absolute garbage for a supposed killer in his prime against an old, faded Gamboa.
I'd love to see this fight as well but if Tank doesn't make weight, I wouldn't fight him if I were Santa Cruz. Let Tank lose his opportunity if he can't act like a professional and make the contracted weight.

I mean, those so-called "minions" have a point. Who have Tank and Wilder fought after Pedraza and before Ortiz, respectively? Jermell's legit, but who has Jermall fought since moving up to 160?

Exactly. And Jermall gets acting like he's the boogeyman but never seems to want a fight against the top fighters! I think he got scared when he fought Korobov and should've lost. If that's the best he can do at 160, he has no chance against Canelo, Jacobs, Andrade, Deryvanchenko or even GGG at this point.

sure bro....ur boxing knowledge far surpasses that of a former boxing champion and experienced analyst/commentator! Lol!

[IRONCHINHAGLER]

you know exactly what i meant...he provided main undercard support...that is massive exposure....and that was just one thing i mentioned

nobody watches andrade or farmer fight....hearn cant build a start in the US....the only guys he has are already established and AJ who a monkey could have lead to the same popularity

kool....and I agree with u on Farmer/Andrade.

I've got to be curious as to why Tanks opposition dropped off sharply after the Pedraza win when he looked like he was on the cusp of something special. Were they genuinely unable to get quality JLW / LWS for him or was there some other reason.

Paulie, Tank Davis will knock you the f... out too. At any weight

I wouldn't fight him either if he doesn't make weight. Every pound Tank misses the odds go up against Leo 5-10% per lb. And it's already 55-45 or 60/40 Tank at 130 lbs...

The only shot Leo has is his crazy work rate (1,000+ punches per fight) and somewhat draining Tank who's only been past round 6 4 times. If Leo makes it too round 6 he should have the fight won.

I just can't see Tank being able to keep up energy wise with Leo. Unless he comes in blown up of course.
